hawkswag1 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I recieved my 4.5 inch rough country lift kit today which includes new coils, shocks shackles, brake line relocation kit, t case drop kit, rear add a leaf, sway bar drop kit, and lower control arms. I am confused as to how lift will be achieved in the rear, since adding a leaf spring on a comanche will decrease the height since it is a spring under vehicle. Maybe I'm just missing something here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 It's basically impossible for adding a leaf to LOWER the vehicle, unless the added leaf is basically flat and pulls the other leaves out of their arch. My '88 had a 4" lift in it when I bought it. The rear lift was a single, short AAL. It provided the lift, but it rode like a ... truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkswag1 Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Okay gotcha. So I'm guessing i will get around two inches from the new shackles and around 2 inches from the aal. I believe this kit is meant to provide 4 inches in the back to level out the truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AALs in my '88 MJ produced 4 inches of lift with stock shackles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkswag1 Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Hmm. The only problem i have with these aals are the size of them. I looked up the part number and its supposed to add 1.5-2 inches of lift. The shackles are 2 inch and looking at the way the aals will fit on i just can't see getting any more than 3.5 inches. I guess ill just put it all on and if its not good enough ill call rough country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
